With such an intriguing introduction of course you are going to page – I can’t believe you did that! – and suddenly there is a dragon in your book. A baby dragon who, when her nose is tickled at the author’s invitation, sneezes and sets fire to the book! Oh no! How are we going to get the fire out?

This is the most charming, fun, interactive book for little people that I’ve seen for a while. The conversation between the author and the reader immediately invites the child to interact, use their imagination and just delight in this story that celebrates everything that is fun and enjoyable about books and reading, reinforcing their understanding that reading is something pleasurable to do.

The saying on one of my Storybook Cushions is “Dragons breathe fire and magic into stories” and this one certainly does – but in the nicest way with child-friendly illustrations that depict a happy baby dragon that will not frighten little listeners before bed.

Interactive, imaginative and fun – what more do little people need in a story?
